Jim Cramer scheduled to be guest on Thursday's "The Daily Show"

[Impaler[WrG]]

Guynemer is right, Crossfire was garbage. Stewart should be commended for blowing it up and I hope the same happens to Cramer and CNBC.

[Zkribbler]

I've always liked Cramer. He seems like a smart guy who doesn't take himself seriously.

It was sad to see him get reamed last night...although it looks like he royally deserved it.
May he come out of this crucible with purified metal.

[Guynemer]

Carville, Begala, Novak, and Carlson were (and still are) complete ****ing douchebags. Hell, Carlson was the one of them I had the least amount of dislike for, but he still richly deserved the new ******* Stewart created for him.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Meh... I enjoyed Crossfire. I liked (and still do) Carville, Novak, Begala, and Carlson. Far better than what has replaced it.

The age doesn't matter, it's the viewers that was in question...

I'm sure you understand the concept of correlation between demographic factors...

Stewart's lectures are pablum for the uninformed. This one was particularly bad, as hindsight bias was on full display and the target of his hectoring wasn't anywhere near the center of the crisis.

Such naivete. Of course, Stewart has hindsight on his side. The point is that these people claimed to be experts in their field and time after time has been shown either wrong, naive, or simply dishonest. Stewart doesn't claim he knows better, but he does point out the bull****. And no one is claiming that Cramer is the center of the crisis. The Daily Show did one little gag about how Cramer and CNBC majorly slipped up during the crisis. Cramer and CNBC foolishly made a big deal out it.

[Riesstiu IV]

All talking head political shows are a waste of time.

This. Most of these shows just degenerate into personal pissing contests between talking head twits. They are like soap operas for political scientists.

Stewart was well-prepared, morally outraged and basically relentless. The transition from throwdown to beatdown was palpable and immediate. What was amazing was that it wasn't a brief interview -- it was the whole freaking show, from intro to Moment of Zen. Awesome stuff.

I was kind of hoping Cramer would fight back more. I honestly felt bad for the guy because the beat down was so relentless abet well deserved. It was these Harvard MBAs on Wall St who said it was a good idea to lift the 10:1 leverage ratio cap all the way up to 35:1 because you can really inflate a small gain that way. Of course the reverse is also true because even a small lose gets multiplied 35 times at that leveraging ratio so those guys had to know they were building a house of cards. There is a very good reason for many of these regulations but the single largest lobbyist to Congress is the financial industry and they're ALWAYS trying to get things deregulated. It's just insane.

I like Stewart's reply to one Fox talking heads's snide comments, something like, "If Stewart's so smart, why doesn't he predict where the markets going to be." Stewart whined, "But I don't know. I'm not a financial expert. I'm only a comedian."

Yeah, that one was a classic. Stewart really tore him a new *******.

[chequita guevara]

That was a classic, but so was Poly's response to it. I'm laughing just thinking about that night. Pure awesome!

Most copycat threads in a single night, and half of them weren't intended that way.

[Darius871]

God, just when you thought this "feud" couldn't get more overhyped:

Cramer's advertisers are laughing all the way to the bank. He's gamed Stewart just like he games everybody else.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

So did he actually do anything different on his show today?

[Riesstiu IV]

I hope that, if anything is to come out of this, Cramer will tone down his show, take a tranquilizer before each show, and his viewers will stop using those stupid catchphrases. I don't know how you can actually listen to him when he has rock music in the background and is constantly using a soundboard right in front of him.

[Guynemer]

Apparently, he didn't really do anything different today, which isn't terribly surprising.
